'It's not a normal occupation'

"I don't know if it's possible to be a writer and be normal. It's not a normal occupation. I know I'm deeply neurotic, and I'm comfortable with that."

-- Jeff Lindsay
author of Darkly Dreaming Dexter
as quoted in the article Dexter creator grasps life's charades

Saw this in an Associated Press article and I had to laugh.

I've never read Lindsay's books or seen the Showtime series Dexter based on the books, but I'm intrigued now. A sympathetic serial killer on the side of justice?
